Unless you are a professional football enthusiast or an entrepreneur, it is unlikely you have heard of Joe Profit. Yet this powerful and explosive running back was a first-round draft pick of the Atlanta Falcons in the National Football League. Due to a season-ending knee injury suffered in his first game in the NFL, Profit eventually retired his cleats, but the lessons he learned on the football field were invaluable. Lessons regarding perseverance, discipline, setting goals and teamwork are partly the reasons he is presently recognized as one of the most prominent small businessmen in America.

Although retired from football field, Profit continues to compete, tackle and score in the business field: in boardrooms, at dinner meetings, on the public speaking circuit and his own broadcast network. As a successful businessman, his company, Gourmet Profit, Inc. owned Burger King Franchises in Atlanta, Georgia. According to an article that appeared in The Atlanta Journal, Joe Profit’s company had sales of more than $2 million in 1978.

Furthermore, Profit was the first African-American to purchase a franchise for International House of Pancakes (IHOP) in the state of Georgia. In addition to his restaurant operations, he is the founder and CEO of a $100 million international multimedia firm, Communications International Corporation. His company was ranked by INC. 500 Magazine as one of the fastest growing privately-held companies in America for three consecutive years. Through Profit’s business endeavors, he has contributed to the nation’s economic engine by providing over 800 jobs to people in 37 states and nine countries.

Fittingly, his last name literally means financial success. It is not surprising, though, that many question if Profit is really his birth-given name and not a pseudonym. I mean, how many great one-liners can you use with a name like Profit?

Born and raised in one of the poorest areas of the country, Lake Providence, Louisiana, Dr. Joe Profit is one of the most interesting and richest people you will ever meet. After enduring the hardships of life before the Civil Rights Movement – which was often synonymous with being poor, Black and male – Profit was determined not to let his meager beginnings be his reason for lifelong excuses.

After graduating high school, Profit was a walk-on at Northeast Louisiana University (ULM), where he received a full scholarship. Though he faced many discriminatory barriers during his collegiate years, as he was the first African-American to play football in the Gulf States Conference (presently known as the Sunbelt Conference), the only barrier Profit truly cared about at the time was breaking the opponents’ goal line. With such determination, Profit went on to become the Conference’s All-Time rushing champion, with 2,818 yards and 538 carries, and he set ten school records, including most yards in a game, a season and a career!

To honor him, the Student Government Association at ULM recognized his contributions during a ceremony which established February 18th as “Joe Profit Day.” The university also retired his football jersey, #40. Profit became the first athlete to have his number retired in the school’s 86-year history. Profit credits ULM for giving him an opportunity to get a quality education when no other college in that system would do so. Joe shared his views as to the impact that ULM had on him: “They invested in my dreams and I grew stronger through the Holy Spirit, which allowed me to show the power of having faith in the word of God. That was an important crossroad in my life. I developed what I call the ‘Triple-A’s effect,’ my mantra to deal with my daily challenges on campus. They are: Appearance, Approach, and Attitude.It is apparent that the same mantra that guided me in the cotton fields, on the football field and the business field will continue to guide me in the field of the ministry.”

Profit has received numerous awards and Presidential appointments, including but not limited to:

Granville T. Woods Award for Outstanding CEO

Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young

Inducted into the Business and Professional Hall of Fame

Institute of American Entrepreneurs’ as a lifetime member

Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame

In addition to his contributions to the business world, Profit has served two sitting Presidents of the United States, President Ronald Reagan and President George H. Bush, as he was appointed to the Federal Reserve Bank, Atlanta, GA, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Small Business Advisory Committee, the International Trade Board Subcommittee for Policy, International Trade Board Subcommittee for Policy, the White House Small Business Advisory Committee, and the U.S. Department of Transportation Advisory Board.

Profit has also been featured in USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Monroe News Star, The Anniston Star, Atlanta Constitution, Gwinnett Daily Post, Atlanta Business Chronicle, Essence Magazine and many other national and international publications.

While Profit has had great success in many of his endeavors, the intention of his book, Fields of Success-Raised Expectations, is to inspire others to tackle their dreams by sharing the consistent habits he embraced in order to achieve success. Upon reading it, hopefully, you will experience love, laughter, tears, disbelief, wonderment and inspiration as you turn each page of this remarkable and profitable story!

This book shows how ordinary living was transformed into an extraordinary life through a strong spiritual conviction, the power of God’s grace, and Dr. Profit’s Guiding Principles for Success (GPS).

TESTIMONIALS

“As an average lifelong college and professional football fan, I knew Joe Profit’s name long before he ever knew mine. I had heard his name on the news and had seen him on television. I have learned his story of adversity and have seen how he has grown into the man he is today… Joe’s indomitable personality and his force of will have allowed him to prevail over countless formidable adversaries and abstracts.

Very few who read his life story and experience Joe’s formula for success can claim the strength of character that helped Joe surmount the burdens he faced and has had to overcome from birth. Many readers will never get to know Joe personally. But in reading this book, he will lift up every reader by some of the experiences that came with this remarkable and blessed life. Enjoy!”

Don Zimmerman
former National Football League player for the Philadelphia Eagles and retired educator.

“To those of us who grew up with Joe profit, his success is not a surprise… even as a child, he was always considering the future, looking for a venture to make money. His story is one that should have been told a long time ago, and all who read it will be inspired.”

“Joe Profit is one of the most sincere and generous human beings I know, and I have known him for a long time. He came along during the time that segregation was ending and integration was beginning. He was the first African–American to play football on his all-white college team. During away games, he was a starter. However, during home games, he had to sit on the bench for the start of the games. But he never gave up. Joe Profit is an outstanding person who is dedicated to hard work and vigilance.

“I have advised Joe on financial matters for many years, and he has one of the best business minds that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is a natural–born entrepreneur.”

Joe’s commitment to succeed, his courage, and his undefeated attitude will be an inspiration as you read his story of struggle and ultimately of victory!”
